Description
Mr Fothergill’s Cineraria Silver Dust Seeds, Drought tolerant, beautiful foliage plants. To encourage bushy growth, pinch out central tips when plants are 10cm high. Remove flowering stems to keep the foliage at its best.
Sow indoors, a warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow 0.5cm deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C. is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Transplant seedlings 5cm apart to further trays when large enough to handle. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.) Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. To encourage bushy growth, pinch out central tips when plants are 10cm high. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 25cm apart, when frosts are over. Small yellow flowers may form August to October. Remove flowering stems to keep the foliage at its best.
